There's a 12.6 GB Update for the Destiny 2 Beta, and You'll Need PS Plus / XBL Gold to Play it All

//cdn.themis-media.com/media/global/images/library/deriv/1418/1418958.jpgThe Destiny 2 beta kicks off today, and there's a big update to download. You'll also need PS Plus or XBL Gold to play everything in the beta.

The Destiny 2 beta kicked off on PS4 today, and it's coming to Xbox One tomorrow, at least for those who pre-ordered the game. There was an update to the client last night, and it's a whopping 12.6 GB. That's not surprising, as folks who pre-loaded last week reported that the download was only about 400 MB.

Also announced last night via Bungie's official Twitter [https://twitter.com/Bungie/status/887106785613561856] was the news that while anyone can play the beta's "Homecoming" story mission, you'll need to to be a PlayStation Plus or Xbox Live Gold subscriber to participate in the Strike and Crucible offerings.

The PS4 beta started at 1 PM ET today, and the Xbox One beta begins at 1 PM ET tomorrow. Both of those times are for pre-oder customers only. If you want to try before you buy, you'll have to wait until the beta opens for everyone on Friday, July 21 at 1 PM ET. The beta period will end for all players on Sunday, July 23 at 11:59 PM ET.
